Saturday Snapshots #150

The Pont Neuf across the River Seine in Paris was officially opened in 1607 and, despite its name (“new bridge”), it is the oldest bridge in the city. Walking under it along the river, you get a great view of the dozens of gargoyles adorning the entire length of the bridge. No two are the same and each is more bizarre than the next.

If you want a custom calendar with your own selection of photos, starting in a month other than January, please e-mail me and we can discuss your requirements. They make great gifts, for friends or for yourself.

Paris is a stunning city. I always like to look at the Gargoyles on the various cathedrals around Europe, especially those found in England. They give a rather fascinating insight into the imaginations of our ancestors.
